Some westerners believe that culture should not be shared and everyone should keep to their own culture or else risk appropriating that culture, which is seen as a type of colonialism. I disagree with this notion but I’m in the minority on this.
I’m Jewish and it would be sick if more people ate matzah ball soup. This however would be seen as cultural appropriation though.
It would be like if someone stole our Torah from us word for word, wait a second the Christians did that.
We’re not allowed to complain tho…
Of course because when they steal our holy books and make fun of us (seriously I cannot stand the stereotype that we're all chassidish) its all ok. Imo im completely fine with people spreading Jewish culture as long as they dont claim ownership.
lol slightly related but I’m brought back to that time in English class where we had to ask people around us their ethnic background and I mentioned I was Jewish, the guy got into a heated argument with me about how I can’t technically be Canadian because I’m Jewish. Genuinely bewildered hehe.
If he finds out about the terms Ashkenazi and Sefardi hes gonna loose his mind
I don’t think we could have gone to those types of nuances. It would create a quantum singularity.
